Sleeps 6. Situated at the top of the famous Royal Mile, 100 metres from the entrance to Edinburgh Castle is the newly-refurbished David Hume Residence. It is in a grade A listed building within the Edinburgh Old Town UNESCO world heritage site, and is named after the famous Scottish Philosopher who took up residence in the culturally significant Riddell’s Court in 1751\. The building retains much of the architecture and character of that era and contrasts uniquely to the modern, stylistic interior of the apartment which serves as a superb base from which to enjoy the attractions that Edinburgh and Scotland has to offer all year round. Accessed from the entrance to Riddell’s Court at 322 Lawnmarket, a stone spiral staircase takes you up to the second floor apartment. Occupying space over two floors, the architecturally-designed apartment provides a comfortable living area with open plan access to a fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances and breakfasting area. A bathroom with a bath and shower attachment complete the lower floor accommodation. A sweeping staircase from the hall accesses both bedrooms which share a Jack and Jill en-suite shower room which is well presented to modern standards. This floor is also complemented by a large balcony off the back bedroom which overlooks the courtyard. It is also worth noting that the all windows to the front of the property have secondary glazing resulting in virtually no Royal Mile street noise. As you walk out of the apartment and onto the bustling Royal Mile you will be met with a multitude of attractions - shops, bars, restaurants and, of course, places of historical interest and significance. From the apartment windows, during the Edinburgh Festival you will get a classic view of the Royal Military Tattoo bands as they make their way up to the Castle. The famous shopping areas of Princes Street and George Street are a five minute walk away as are the train and bus stations which provide easy access for trips to surrounding towns and cities. There is an excellent local bus service as well as frequent trams to and from the airport. Edinburgh is also an ideal base from which to head east to the famous Golf Coast, north to the unspoilt Highlands and Trossachs or west to Loch Lomond, Glasgow and the Western Isles. Please note: This property operates a key safe, so you can let yourself into the property any time after 4pm. The key safe code will be issued before your arrival.

Walking out the front door you feel like you are in a fairytale. It was close to all of the tourist activities that we hoped to do visit during our stay and was just steps away from Edinburgh castle. There was an adorable diner just downstairs that we visited for lunch. The apartment itself was very comfortable and very large for our family of three. It had lots of cozy blankets and all the amenities you could need. Highly recommended. ##### Devra E.

Modern bathrooms and kitchen, washing machine. Be advised you will need to carry your bags up two flights but this was not a major issue for our group. The manager was responsive and friendly.

The location was ideal, right along the Royal Mile and just a couple blocks away from the famed Edinburgh Castle. The walk to the main train station and light rail to the airport is super easy. The unit was quiet and comfortable and near plenty of restaurants, pubs & shops. We had 4 adults sharing the accommodations for 5 days and would have been perfectly comfortable to stay another couple weeks.

We booked this place months before we were heading to Scotland. I wondered if it was going to be as nice as it looked, and it was!! It was right on the Royal Mile, charming, clean, and so historical! We were midway though our trip, so the laundry was so appreciated. You need to be able to handle stairs, as there’s no elevator. Looking out the back window, we felt like we were back in 15th century Edinburgh. Thank you for making this available. ##### Wendy N.

Everything we needed was there, lots of room and although there were only 3 of us could easily have accommodated 6 people by using the sofa bed, as listed. The location could not have been any better, so central and lots of lovely pubs and restaurants around. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone going to Edinburgh! ##### Lisa O. ### 10/10 Excellent #### j g. 15 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### totallyt awesome David Hume's place has charm, great location and very comfortable. If I ever come back to Edinburgh I will most definitely try to get his place. ##### j g.

Location was perfect to see the sights of the Royal Mile and it was directly across the street from the hop on-hop off tour bus stop. The apartment was spacious enough for a family of 4, with wi-fi, very clean and comfortable. Loved the sitting porch off the master bedroom. Entering the courtyard and walking up the two flights of circular steps made us feel we were entering into the past. Just a wonderful, magical experience that we would absolutely come back to. ##### Christopher C.
